Meet with like-minded entrepreneurs, self-employed people and small business owners in the unique setting of Martello Tower F on the Clacton-on-Sea coastline.

Network, collaborate, promote your services and support each other at our  monthly small business networking, which is open to FSB members and non-members.

We'll be joined each month by a guest speaker from a local small business who will give the group some practical take-away points to implement in their own business.

This month's guest speaker is Joe Tye from Simply Better Communications who offer freelance communications consultancy, helping businesses achieve their business goals and achieve greater impact through PR, Marketing and Sales activity. Joe will be speaking on 'Beyond the Basics: Exploring Simple & Proactive B2B Social Media Tactics.' Small businesses often question the relevance of their social media channels. How much should be invested? Is it really worth it? In this session, you will look beyond 'posting content' to explore proactive tactics marketers are using to drive real B2B engagement and impact across Facebook, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn.

Member tickets for this event are £5 and non-member tickets are £7. The price includes tea, coffee and biscuits.

There is on street parking surrounding the tower and nearby public car parks.
Please note that although the tower is accessible to wheelchairs, there is a steep slope to the tower entrance.
The networking session, refreshments and bathroom are all on the same level as the entrance to the tower but the garden is only accessible via a staircase.
